What the Super Microcement Kit 16 m² · walls and showers · tile contains

The ready-to-use Super Microcement Kit covers up to 16 m² and contains the products needed to cover walls and showers without removing the previous surface. With no rubble to clear, the renovation is resolved in a few days and without hiring labour.

Professional-quality materials for interior glazed surfaces: tile, mosaic tile, marble, porcelain, terrazzo and stone slab.

The 16 m² Super Microcement Kit for walls and showers on tile is made up of:

• 2 Smart Jointer 1,5 kg: filling compound that works to cover tile and mosaic tile grout lines. A grout filler with high adhesion and fast drying. The function of this product is simply to smooth the surface before applying Smartcret ready-to-use microcement. It withstands water and ambient damp.
• 2 Smart Primer PLUS 1 L: water-based acrylic primer, used to improve the adhesion of Smartcret microcement on glazed surfaces.
• 4 Smart Base 8 kg: ready-to-use preparation microcement. With a coarser grain, it is applied over the base of the surface to give it solidity and consistency. A coloured product. It is not the final finish.
• 2 Smart Liso 6 kg: ready-to-use finishing microcement. It is applied after Smart Base and gives the final finish. A DIY product, already coloured. Its grain is much finer, which is where its soft feel comes from.
• 2 Smart Varnish 2 L: ready-to-use water-based polyurethane varnish. It seals and protects the new microcement surface against abrasion wear and water, among other factors. This varnish enhances the colour and is available in matt and satin finishes.
• 4 Smart Booster 50 g: component B added to the varnish for greater protection against chemical agents, more hardness and abrasion resistance.
• Sanding discs: discs in different grits for sanding all the product layers. Includes 10 grit 40 discs, 20 grit 220 discs and 10 grit 400 discs.

The tools are not included in the kit. For a correct application you will need rollers, a tray, protective masking tape, a sanding glove and a polycarbonate trowel, all available in the Smartcret tool kit.

On use on countertops: in the bathroom microcement performs well because it withstands everyday water and ambient damp, though not standing water. In the kitchen we do not recommend it and we do not give a guarantee. If you still decide to apply it, bear these three conditions in mind:

1. Microcement is not fireproof. Do not rest pans, frying pans or hot containers directly on the countertop. Always use a board or a trivet.
2. Do not cut food directly on the countertop. It does not replace a chopping board and the marks stay visible.
3. Act quickly on stains. Oil, vinegar or coffee should be cleaned off as soon as possible with Smart Cleaner. Smart Varnish together with Smart Booster provides chemical resistance for a maximum of 8 hours (see the table in the technical data sheet).

How to apply your microcement kit

1. Clean and degrease the surface. Once dry, tape off the area where the microcement will be applied.
2. Apply 1 layer of Smart Jointer to fill the grout joints and leave the surface seamless. Let the product dry for 24 hours. Then, sand with a 40-grit sandpaper until the surface is completely smooth.
3. Prepare the surface for treatment. Use a roller to apply a coat of Smart Primer PLUS. Let it dry for 30 minutes.
4. Wet the Smart Roller with Smart Base and spread the microcement thinly (less than 1 mm) vertically and then horizontally over the surface. Smooth it out with the polycarbonate trowel in arching and multi-directional movements. Repeat this process until the surface is completely covered and smooth. Allow 6 hours of drying time between layers and sand after each layer with a 40-grit sandpaper to ensure there are no burrs. Apply a total of 2 layers of Smart Base.
5. Repeat the same process with Smart Liso. Use the Smart Roller and polycarbonate trowel to spread the microcement thinly (less than 0.5 mm) until the surface is covered. Allow 6 hours of drying time between layers and sand after each layer with a 220-grit sandpaper. Remove the tape after application. Apply a total of 2 layers of Smart Liso. Let it dry for 24 hours after the last layer.
6. Add the Smart Booster to the Smart Varnish container. Gently shake the container manually for a few minutes. While the mixture rests, apply tape to the necessary areas. Let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes.
7. Once the Smart Varnish mixture is ready, apply the first coat of microcement sealer. The mixture has a shelf life of 24 hours, allowing it to be used for the second and third coats. Each coat should dry for 4 hours. Once the final coat is dry, remove the tape. Remember to sand the first and second coats with a 400-grit sandpaper. The total curing time for the varnish is 7 days to achieve maximum performance.

*Important: to apply Smartcret microcement correctly, you must maintain a 45º angle with the trowel. Failing to do so may result in a finish that differs from the desired one. We recommend the purchase of our anti-scald trowel, included in the tool kit. The use of other poor quality trowels could burn the microcement.

Additionally, the sandpaper grits specified in this application process and included in the kit are intended solely for manual sanding. Using an electric sander may burn the product due to excessive pressure.
